I'd rather trust someone raising a world class athlete than someone just pulling strings to get her/his kids into some political office or a government close company, where they dont have to do much and still get a fat paycheck.

Using you daughter image and popularity for you own interest and for political reasons
Off course Domi could not refuse this, but her mother should have known better.

She raised a child, a girl, a woman, don`t know if she had anything to do with the fact that Domi has become a world class tennis player. That`s done by Domi herself and by her coaches during the time.
And what make a great mother a great politician ?

Not uncommon for pols to use well-known relatives in PR campaigns. In fact they'd be stupid not to. Especially if the pol isn't well-known, it gives the public something familiar to associate with.

I personally find it lame. The fact that her daughter is a famous tennis player has nothing to do with her career as a politician. Asking people to vote for you just because you have a famous daughter instead of other people, who are maybe better at what she does makes no sense.

Really, though, the lameness would be anyone who votes for somebody because she's the mother of a tennis player.*
